Hi, Module IS the best way to test your changes. Anyway, normally you run from command line make menuconfig (this will give you options to configure kernel) make dep make <target> <target> is what you want to build. I only built kernels for embedded systems, so I usually run 'make zImage'. Not sure what you have to build for RedHat desktop installation.

Eventually I plan to make a module. Right now I am experimenting to see if my changes work as anticipated. Plz let me know if you have any pointers for the recompilation stuff. Thanks, Rahul.
